Chapter 178: Participation is the Key
The show was very impressive and well-performed, much better than last year's lion and dragon dance performances.
The second program was performed by Zhou Ya. This program was very interesting. More than 40 students held basketballs and performed various basketball stunts, including changing the ball in the air, spinning the ball with the index finger, and forming a circle and passing the basketball one by one.
It seems to have a lot of tricks and requires a certain level of execution.
Next came the song and dance performances, one classical dance and three modern dances, all of which were well-choreographed, and it was obvious that the performers had rehearsed very hard.
In Changde, songs and dances are usually prepared by students in the art class, so their Class 5 does not need to prepare a program.
After the opening ceremony performance, the opening ceremony of the entire sports meeting also ended.
Tang Su then left the field in an orderly manner with the other athletes, preparing to return to the spectator area of Class 5 in the stands. As she walked out of the playground, the campus broadcast sounded:
"Teachers and students, please pay attention: Now the announcement of the events for the morning of the 10th is broadcasted. 9:00 men's 100m preliminaries, 9:00 women's 10m air rifle competition, 9:00 men's shot put competition, 9:30 women's 100m preliminaries, 10:00 men's 10m air rifle competition, 10:00 women's shot put competition, 10:10 men's 200m preliminaries, 10:30 men's javelin competition, 10:50 women's 200m preliminaries."
Tang Su remembered his competition time: the 200-meter preliminaries started at 10:50.
But it's only 8:45 now, and she still has about two hours, during which she can be a spectator.
Soon, Tang Su came to the stands and joined the students from Class 5.
As soon as Tang Su went over, some classmates gave her something. Xie Yutong handed her a peeled apple, and Yang Chao handed her a bottle of milk.
"No, I'm not hungry. I can't run if I'm too full." Tang Su smiled and shook his hand to refuse.
She had breakfast in the morning and would just eat a few candies before running. If she was too full, she would easily have a stomachache after running.
"Tang Su, our class depends on you." Xie Yutong patted Tang Su on the shoulder. Tang Su was one of the best girls in the class in terms of sports performance. Tang Su was the one with the best chance of winning first place in their class five.
Tang Su just smiled and didn't answer.
She doesn't like her classmates saying such things as it puts pressure on her. The important thing about a sports meet is participation, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't get a ranking.
Tang Su saw that the referees for the 100-meter race had arrived at the stadium, and the big screen behind the stadium stage also lit up, showing the numbers of the athletes participating in the 100-meter preliminaries and the groups they were assigned to.
Nowadays, some middle school sports meets no longer have referees holding stopwatches and pressing the timer when the athletes reach the finish line. Instead, they use electronic timers like major sporting events. After the athletes finish the race, the electronic timer system will calculate the athletes' results with almost no error, and the results will be displayed on the stadium's screen within 30 seconds, which is both fair and accurate.
Changde is a middle school with excellent conditions and has been using an electronic timer system for several years.
Tang Su saw He Chaoming from his class appear at the end of the track to prepare for the race. He was the only boy in the class participating in the 100-meter race. Because there were many events and the two schools were holding the event together, the school stipulated that only one person from each class could register for each event, so each class had at most one athlete running 100 meters.
In addition to He Chaoming, there are at least sixty or seventy other athletes preparing for the competition.
